Chapter 22: Contract
Driven by a newfound determination, Yun-ho decided to delve deeper into the mechanics of constellations and blessings. He knew that understanding these concepts would be crucial in their quest to defeat the darkness.
Under the cover of night, Yun-ho sneaked into the Hall of Constellations, a hidden chamber within the academy. The hall was filled with a soft, ethereal glow, and the air was thick with energy.
As Yun-ho explored the hall, he stumbled upon a peculiar orb, radiating an unusual energy. Intrigued, he reached out to touch it.
A surge of power coursed through him, and a voice echoed in his mind. "You have awakened the power of the constellation Ophiucus," the voice said.
Yun-ho was taken aback. He had already awakened the constellation Orion, but now he had a second sponsorship.
"Ophiucus is a serpent-bearer, a symbol of healing and transformation," the voice continued. "As his chosen one, you possess the potential to heal wounds and restore balance."
Yun-ho was excited and intrigued by this new development. He had never heard of Ophiucus before, but the constellation's powers seemed to complement his existing abilities.
As Yun-ho delved deeper into the powers granted by Ophiucus, he discovered that he could heal wounds, both physical and emotional. He could also manipulate energy and create illusions.
With the power of both Orion and Ophiucus, Yun-ho felt more confident than ever. He knew that he was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
However, as the excitement faded, Yun-ho realized that something was amiss. The voice he had heard was not benevolent. It was dark, sinister, and filled with a sense of malice.
Yun-ho had been approached by a malevolent constellation, one that sought to use his power for its own dark purposes. He realized that he had made a grave mistake.
The battle against the darkness had only just begun, and Yun-ho knew that he would need all his strength and cunning to survive.
